Have you ever felt so down, worried, or confused that it left you feeling stuck, trapped, helpless or out of control? Or have you ever felt lost and didn't know what to do or where to go? Have you ever felt that you couldn't talk to anyone or share what you were really feeling or thinking? Relationships, families, work, responsibilities, transitions, well in a sense, life itself, can be really difficult to navigate sometimes especially without support, tools or skills to help you through, or a safe person and space to make sense of it all.

As a therapist, I sit with my clients while they process the struggles in their lives, and support them as they build upon their strengths with effective strategies for handling difficulties in the future. I strongly believe that therapy is most effective when work is done outside of our sessions- by both the client and myself. In keeping a small caseload, I am better able to allocate my time and energy to meeting the specific needs of my clients through research, education, and interventions tailored to each case. Similarly, I hope my clients will work on their growth during the week by practicing techniques discussed in session.

Are you feeling sad, anxious, frustrated or angry? Does your family or relationship feel like it's coming apart? Do you or your children feel like you're losing control? Then you are caught up in life situations that are keeping you awake at night! These problems continue to resurface over and over again because we are unable to really understand how we can change ourselves and the way we think. "Our only block to personal happiness is our inability to access who we TRULY are."

Are you ready to find meaning and purpose to your life's work? Maybe you are on a journey of self-discovery regarding your relationships, career or physical fitness. My goal is to help my clients become inspired to change, energized and confident in the ability to make those changes and transformed by the experienced. For me, the combination of exercise and counseling is the best possible pathway towards helping my clients "feel better". Feeling better can come either through counseling or through exercise. My goal is to help you be successful through both.

Life changes can bring joy and pain. Depression, anxiety, substances and fear can hijack your life and destroy our self esteem. Honesty, open mindedness, and willing are the keys opening the door of change. We all want to be loved, seen, and validated , a journey that must begin from within. The use of a substances or any unhealthy behavior, takes more than it gives and our body will hold the trauma inherent in those experiences. Together, the skill set I have will help you discover and explore your path, focusing on regaining balance, motivation, and self-respect. I offer a safe, therapeutic, and compassionate environment.

Life has a rhythm. There are times when things seem to come together, where life seems smooth and the future seems certain and predictable. There are also times when nothing seems easy, when we feel stuck and the future seems uncertain or unpredictable. Regardless of where you are in the rhythm of your life, you may feel like you need a change. At those times it helps to think about movement-because movement is power. And therapy can help.

I bring gentleness, humor, and warmth to my work, creating a space where clients feel safe to explore their experiences with curiosity and self-compassion. I am skilled in helping folks navigate life transitions or crossroads, whether they are facing career changes, shifts in relationships, identity exploration, or personal reinvention. A population that I do well with are those who self-identify as highly sensitive and/or neurodivergent. I understand the unique challenges and strengths that come with having a brain that processes information differently, and I offer a therapeutic space that is validating and intuitive.

Every one of us are complex beings, influenced by our parents, the prevailing culture, our peers, and the social institutions we encounter. We are also carrying the weight of traumatic experiences both small and great. Integrative therapy with a relational focus helps the client develop and realize their true selves, devoid of unwanted influences. This therapy is a journey built on trust and mutual respect. In couples work, we learn how past family scripts effect the marriage. Often times, family members pass these family mantras to their children unknowingly, which results in their depression and anxiety.
